Akan in the United States
Who speaks Akan, and where they turn up.
Akan is a group of closely related Kwa languages (Twi, Fante, Akuapem) spoken by around 20 million people, primarily in Ghana. Twi is the most widely used variety in diaspora communities.
Ghanaian communities in the Bronx, Worcester, Columbus OH, DC / Maryland, Atlanta and Chicago drive U.S. demand, especially for immigration and hospital settings.

Linguistic considerations
Getting Akan right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Akan session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Dialect & variety
Twi (Asante / Akuapem) and Fante differ meaningfully. We confirm dialect at booking to avoid assigning an Asante speaker to a Fante applicant.
